Cham heilain correspondence Siong
Falls Psess; Last Saturday Rev. Luke
Walker, accompanied by Miss Grace
Howard, came to This place and asked
permission to enter the prison to see
Handsome Elk. Upon being admitted
to his presence Rev. Walker save the
rite OF paptism TO the prisoner accord
ing to the ritual of the Episcopal church.
The wags about town says Handsome
Elk is beginning early to get ready fer
~thetransfer from this terrestrial to that
celestial world above.
As an evidence that the Elk does not
mean to give up without a struggle it
is only necessary to say he has retained
j. Nj. Long to defend him. To those
who know Joe's staying qualities and
the fertility of u that he is mas
ter OF it is noa necessary to say that il
the hangman ever places a rope around
Handsome Elk's neck it will have TO be
done according to law. The friends OF
the prisoner are rallying to his support
10y ally and are determined that q fair
and full trial shall be accorded the ao
cused. Mr.. Long will make a hard and
persistent effort to acquit his client.
At this writing neither the prosecution
nor defense have indicated their line of
action.
The fact OF Mr.. Elk's becoming a
christian will rally about him the In.
hnenee of the church al far as it is right
for it to go. Luke Walker is q full
blood Indian, educated and thoroughly
devoted to his calling. Miss Howard is
a true philanthrdplst and will exert her
influence in behalf of the Elk. Among
the leading Indians Big Man and Yellow
Hawk have both espoused the cause oil
Elk, The arrest bids fair TO
create a feud among the Indians.
and were it not for the firm
and determined course of Major Ander-
son, the agent and his deputy, Major
Tibbetts, the hills about the Lower Brule
agency might resound with the shrill
war whoop of the painted aboriginee
again. But the agent and his deputy
are viUilant and determined that no out
ward demonstrations shall be made. In
this they are backed by the police and a
large majority of the Indians as we'll ns
by Rev. Luke Walker and the church
officials.

the dough sticking to it. Clothes are left
on the line to whip to pieces IN the wind.
Tubs and barrels are left in sun to dry

taken care of IN season and become
wormy. Rage, string and paper are
thrown into the fire. Pork spoils for

wants sealding. Bisa OF meat, vegetables
bread and cold buildings are thrown

The defendants filed in and took their

other of the entire eleven, the
guilty defendants seemed rooted
to their chaire, embodiments of
dispair. Then came the list of penal
ties. Commissioner McClaughey, two
years. There was o start of surprise
among the spectators. The extreme
penalty Of the Law was three years and
a fine of $1,000. Nothing less had been
expected by agreat majority OF those

began to look up. Commissioners
Leyden, Van Pelt, Wien and Wasserman,
and Warden Varnell, all got two years
and every one of them looked measnrably
relieved, except Wren. He turned
ashen pale and seemed utterly dazed.
The crowd was now prepared for
any surprise, and it came speedily
in the statement, Commissioners
MCCARTHY, Oliver, Oasselman and Cells,
a fine OF 81 ,0O0." A look of unmistaka-
BILE exultation took possession of the
